Originated in Yorkshire, England in the 19th century

Yorkshire is named after Yorkshire in the northeast of England, so it is also called Yorkshire, Joseph's dog, and Joseph's orangutan. Yorkshire is petite, second only to Chihuahua in size. As early as the Victorian era, it was a fashionable pet, loved by men, women, old and young, and its position in the dog world is very stable. It is also one of the most popular breeds in the world. The dog has a history of more than 100 years.

In the Victorian era, Yorkshire Terriers were very fashionable pets, with the charm of "upper-class ladies' boudoirs", and were deeply loved by people, especially aristocrats. Because they were fascinated by their beautiful hair, beautiful ladies often decorated Yorkshire Terriers' heads with beautiful accessories such as ribbons and bows, which made their terriers' naughty personalities more three-dimensional and multifaceted. Even in modern times, it is still one of the most popular dog breeds in the world, and its status in the dog world is very high.

There are many different opinions about their origins, and it can be said that the origins of Yorkshire Terriers are somewhat mysterious. One of the most widely circulated opinions is that in the late 18th century, a miner living in Yorkshire, northeast England, was tired of dealing with the situation of rats in the mine. In order to eliminate rats and keep the ventilation holes smooth, he crossbred and bred Yorkshire Terriers.

Therefore, Yorkshire Terriers were not used as pets at the beginning, but were used by workers and farmers as a special breed for catching mice. Practice has proved that Yorkshire Terriers are particularly suitable for "dogs catching mice" because of their light body, muzzle bite and agile reaction, so they are also highly valued by ordinary people. In order to protect Yorkshire from becoming a "cash cow" for criminals, they did not even leave any written records about the breeding of Yorkshire, just to prevent those bad dog breeders who aim to make money from knowing the breeding secrets of Yorkshire Terriers. The early Yorkshire breed was much larger than its current size.

As the times progressed, Yorkshire also underwent several improvements and was finally "reshaped" into the appearance of today's aristocratic princess. The secret of the successful improvement is said to be that some Scots who went south to Yorkshire woolen mills to find work brought Skye Terriers and other terriers. Later, these "outsiders" mated with similar local native dogs, and then after a long period of mating with other small dogs, they slowly evolved and developed, making their size gradually smaller, and finally "transformed" into today's Yorkshire. In addition, it has been confirmed that Yorkshire Terriers also contain the bloodline of Maltese dogs, black brown civets, Manchester apes, and short-legged long-haired aids.

Although they are small in size, Yorkshire Terriers are never cowardly, and are often very brave, because they never think of themselves as weak dogs in their hearts. It is because of this that there are such touching stories as "Yorkshire Savior" and "Yorkshire Hero of World War II".
